Something to think about in our short lives - they don't even know how long this clam 'could' have lived! If only it could talk!



The ocean quahog clam was dredged from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Iceland.

The clam's life started in 1602, when Queen Elizabeth I was still on the throne of England, and William Shakespeare was in his prime.
